TCAN4551-Q1: TCAN4551-Q1 related issues

Part Number: TCAN4551-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCAN5102-Q1

Hello,

Can TCAN4551-Q1 be used for SPI to CAN or CAN to SPI conversion?

Thanks.

 

  • No, the TCAN4551-Q1 uses a SPI interface to the MCU, but it is not able take the data from a CAN message and communicate with another device that has a SPI interface.

    We do have a new "CAN FD Light" portfolio in development that is intended for that purpose.  These are specialized devices that receives data and/or commands from a CAN FD Light commander node which translates these to either a SPI controller, UART controller, I2C controller, and/or GPIO pins to peripheral devices connected to the device it is controlling.  You can find a product preview datasheet of the TCAN5102-Q1 at this (Link).

    Regards,

    Jonathan
